update
Wow...it's been a month since we posted last! Well we have a few updates and there will be several posts worth of pictures, as Jimmy is back on the ship and this is the best way to share pictures of the family with him. Riley had a few flare ups of his skin condition (eczema) but it's under control (at least for now). He gets 1-2 baths per day, lots of greasy lotion, and "wet pajamas". The pediatrician told us to put riley in a pair of damp (warm) pajamas, then put another pair on top so he doesn't get cold. This has made the biggest change we think. He's also turned 6 months old! That means FOOD. Alright, I'll admit that we didn't last until 6 months like I swore we would...we caved about a week early. Riley likes food OK but looks at us like "this crap isn't what I see you eating!". He hates rice cereal but is doing OK with the veggies so far. This weekend we went to visit Nikki's parents, her grandparents had come down from Ohio to meet Jax and so we went for a visit. Dennis and Nikki left Riley with the family and went to celebrate our friend Kendra and Rob's wedding. It was a great time and everyone enjoyed getting to bond with Riley. So we'll start the pictures now... Tomorrow is Riley's 6 month well baby visit so we'll update again after that with his stats!

Jax Welcome Party!
We traveled to Yorktown for a party to welcome little Jax to the family! It was great to have the family together, and Riley got to meet his new cousin!! Here are some pictures from the day!!
Saturday at home, part 2
After our trip to Bass Pro Shop, and a nap, we went to Deep Run Park. We took a walk on the trails until Riley woke up and then played on the swings and playground. Riley loved the bucket swing, and played on the big kid swings, tire swing, and little bouncy alligator thing. It was a fun family outing!!
Saturday at home, part 1
We have been out of town most weekends in recent memory, so when we found ourselves at home on this Saturday we decided to make the most of it. No boring chores like cleaning the house (although it's needed!). First Dennis recommended that we go to Bass Pro Shop. Nikki was skeptical, seeing how we don't like to fish, hunt, or camp. Why would we go there? The answer came as we drove up the drive...it is like a theme park! We had fun looking at the fish, the waterfall, and everything else!! We can't wait to go back and try out some of the games!!

Doo happens
and had lots of fun together. When Nikki came to pick up Riley he was
wearing a new onsie, something they bought on vacation. The front said
massanutten and on the butt it says "doo happens". When we got home,
this is what Nikki saw. Apparently, doo does happen!

Riley laughing
After we returned from our weekend of visiting with Jax and family, Dennis was playing with Riley on the floor. Here is a short clip of Riley laughing at his silly daddy.

More Jax pictures!
We had fun meeting Jax and visiting with Shannan and her mom. Little Riley will have to wait a while longer to meet his new cousin, as babies aren't allowed into the unit. Riley was perfectly content to wait in the waiting room with AJ while his mom and dad met Jax. 
Jax Atreyu Beil is Here!!
Delaney and Riley's little cousin Jax was born today!! We came down to Yorktown when we heard that Shannan was in the hospital and got to visit with them both! Jimmy was on the phone when Jax was born, which is very cool. He got to hear his son come into the world from half a world away, and the Doctor even told him "You have a son!" Here are a few pictures from the day!
